x ONcore ATM Switch and CELLplex 4000: Command Reference Guide
Chapter1.Overview
This chapter explains how to enter ATM commands to manage the ATM subsystem via
an ATM Control Point located in either the ATM Switch/Control module of the ONcore
Switching Hub or the CELLplex 4000.
These commands can be entered:
From a local console attached to the ATM Control Point's RS-232 console port
From a session on a remote console via the TELNET protocol.
When working in a remote session, you can use all ATM commands except for TELNET
and commands that require Maintenance mode.
Keystroke Functions
When entering ATM commands from the console, you can correct typing mistakes by
pressing the DEL or Backspace keys. These keystrokes along with other keystroke
functions are as follows:
BS or BackspaceMoves the cursor one space backward and deletes the
character.
Enterruns the command or prompts you for missing parameters.
Space barTypes the complete command.
Ctrl + CCancels the command that is currently running and returns the
prompt.
Ctrl + RRecalls the last command entered (but does not run it unless
Enter pressed).
Ctrl + LTypes the currently edited command on the next line.
?display a list of possible commands or parameters.
Chapter 1. Overview 1-1
Console Modes
Some commands are only accessible from certain modes. The types of mode available
depend on the password entered when logging in. The types of mode are:
User modeLogging in with the user password gives you read only access to
a subset of ATM commands that allow you to view ATM
subsystem status, get help, clear counters, and log off. The
factory default user password is a null string.
Administrator mode Logging in with the administrator password gives you read and
write access to all ATM commands.
Maintenance modeGives access to maintenance functions, such as clearing the
configuration, and is accessed by entering the MAINTAIN
command when in Administrator mode. No password is required.
Applicable Environments
Table 1-1 shows which mode is required for each command, and which commands are
specific to either the ONcore ATM Switch/Control Point module (Hub) or CELLplex 4000
(C/4). Note that when in Administrator mode, all User mode commands can be run.

Chapter2.Quick
Reference
This chapter contains an overview of the required syntax for the ATM commands.
Commands are shown in alphabetical order, detailing:
Groups of valid parameters (shown in a column below the command line) that can
be entered with the command
Variables (shown in italics) for which you must enter a valid value
Parameters (shown in uppercase) which must be entered exactly as they appear in
the command syntax.
A group of parameters is optional when none of the parameters in the group is shown
on the command line (for example, FORCE in LOGOUT and MAINTAIN or NODISPLAY and
DISPLAY in SET ALERT).
The default value for a parameter appears above the command line (for example,
INBAND in DOWNLOAD or NO_VERBOSE in SHOW MODULE).
Note: When you enter ATM commands at the console prompt, you can enter
parameters in either upper or lowercase letters. For example, you can enter either
CLEAR COMMUNITY ALL or clear community all, or even CLEAR Community All.

Chapter3.ATM
Commands
A detailed description of the syntax and parameters in each command is given in this
chapter. Note that the conventions used to describe the command syntax differ slightly
from the conventions used in Chapter 2, Quick Reference:
Uppercase Characters
Uppercase characters must be entered exactly as shown.
Lowercase Characters
Lowercase words and characters represent a variable in place of which you must
enter a valid value.
Vertical line |
Parameters or variables that you can choose between are separated by a vertical
line.
When an item has a vertical line on both sides, the item is detailed below, usually
when the item contains several options and cannot be displayed coherently in the
correct place.
Square Brackets [ ]
Information enclosed in square brackets is optional.
The prompt displayed at the console depends on whether the console is attached to an
ONcore ATM Switch/Control module (prompt= ONcoreATM>) or CELLplex 4000
(prompt= CELLplex 4000>).
These are the factory default values, which may have been changed via the SET
TERMINAL PROMPT command. In the examples given in this guide, ATMPROMPT is
used.
When in Maintenance mode, the prompt >> is displayed.
Chapter 3. ATM Commands 3-1

Chapter 3. ATM Commands 3-3
BOOT
You can run this command only from Maintenance mode. To start Maintenance
mode, enter the MAINTAIN command.
The BOOT command ends Maintenance mode and activates the ATM operational code
that was downloaded using the DOWNLOAD OUT_OF_BAND command from the
station attached to the RS-232 console port.
BOOT does the following:
Resets the hardware of all ATM modules in the hub or CELLplex 4000.
Runs ATM diagnostics if they are enabled.
Activates the new operational software downloaded to the flash EEPROM.
Once the ATM subsystem boots up with the new operational software, press Enter to
redisplay the password prompt and log on to the system.
BOOT
Example
The following is an example of how to run the command from Maintenance mode. Note
that after the ATM modules reboot, you must press Enter again to display the Password

CLEAR ATM_ESI
You can run this command only if you logged on with the Administrator
password.
Use this command to delete a specific static entry or all static entries in the End System
Identifiers (ESI) table.
If you want to delete a specific entry, use the SHOW ATM_ESI command first to verify
the identification ID (Id= ) of the entry you want to delete.
CLEAR ATM_ESI Id|ALL
IdIdentification of the static entry to be deleted from the table.
ALLAll static entries of the end system identifier table will be deleted.

Chapter 3. ATM Commands 3-7
CLEAR CONFIGURATION
You can run this command only from Maintenance mode. To start Maintenance
mode, enter the MAINTAIN command.
Use this command to restore the factory-default configuration settings for an ATM
Switch/Control Point module or CELLplex 4000. The currently configured parameters
(for example, Community entries, logical links, and so on) are deleted.
After entering CLEAR CONFIGURATION, the current settings remain active until you
restart normal operation in any of the following ways:
Entering the BOOT command
Pressing the ATM Reset button
Powering OFF and powering ON the hub or the CELLplex 4000.
After entering the BOOT command, you may lose the connection to the ATM Control
Point console if the console uses different baud, parity, data bit, and stop bit values
than the defaults. In this case, you must either reconfigure the console to the
factory-default settings or attach another console that uses these settings.
Note: If you insert an ATM Switch/Control Point module in another hub before clearing
its current configuration, the module will start up with the current configuration instead of
with its default settings. As a result, the ATM subsystem may not operate properly and
some ATM connections may not be established.

DOWNLOAD INBAND
You can run this command only if you logged on with the Administrator
password.
Use this command to load ATM Switch/Control Point module or CELLplex 4000
software updates from a server that is connected to the ATM Control Point in normal
mode (or SLIP mode on RS232 link) via the network. The command is also used to
download FPGA picocode to the ATM Control Point and ATM media modules. It should
be used only when a new diskette is issued from 3Com Corporation.
The server from which you download the software must be defined using the SET TFTP
SERVER_IP_ADDRESS command (see page 3-98). The download file containing the
software (boot or operational load) must be defined with the SET TFTP FILE_NAME
and SET TFTP FILE_TYPE commands (pages 3-95 and 3-96 respectively).
After completion of the download operation, the ATM Control Point will not activate the
new version at reset time. The activation of the latest microcode version is handled by
the SWAP command (see pages 3-146 through 3-147). Resetting the ATM
Switch/Control Point module or CELLplex 4000 will not cause the last downloaded
microcode version to become the active one.
DOWNLOAD INBAND does not disrupt normal operation of the ATM subsystem. The
operation of the ATM subsystem is, however, interrupted when you enter the SWAP
command to activate the downloaded code.
If you are downloading software from a server running Transcend ONcore ATM Campus
Manager you must first configure Transcend ONcore ATM Campus Manager for TFTP
before you enter the DOWNLOAD INBAND command. For instructions on how to do
this, see the

Applies only if you entered operational and is intended only for 3Com
service engineers.
If you enter DOWNLOAD OUT_OF_BAND OPERATIONAL without the
area parameter, the new software is downloaded in the part of the flash
EEPROM that does not contain the normally used program. This is the
normal use of the command.
Chapter 3. ATM Commands 3-17
If you enter DOWNLOAD OUT_OF_BAND OPERATIONAL with a value
for area, you indicate the area in EEPROM where the new software is
to be stored.1 represents one part of EEPROM; 2 represents the
other part.
The operational code you download to area 1 or 2 is the code that is
activated when you quit Maintenance mode.

If you make configuration changes and log off without specifying the force parameter,
the LOGOUT command will be rejected. In order to log off, you must then either
permanently save your changes (with the SAVE command) or restore them (with the
REVERT command). The force parameter allows you to log off and keep your
changes until you reboot or reset the ATM Switch/Control Point module or CELLplex
4000.
LOGOUT [FORCE]
forceAllows you to log off and keep the configuration changes you have made. The
changes are used (but not permanently saved) in each session you start until
you reboot or reset the ATM Switch/Control Point or CELLplex 4000. If you do
not save your changes, they are lost the next time you reboot or reset.

MAINTAIN
You can run this command only if you logged on with the administrator password
from a local ATM Control Point session via the RS-232 Console port. You cannot
enter the MAINTAIN command from a remote session started with the TELNET
command.
Use this command to activate Maintenance mode. From this mode you can:
Display a summary of the microcode stored in the flash memory using the SHOW
FLASH command.
Download new ATM Switch/Control Point or CELLplex 4000 software using the
DOWNLOAD OUT_OF_BAND command.
Activate the new software stored in the flash EEPROM using the BOOT command,
quit Maintenance mode, and start a new ATM Control Point session.
Erase the customization of a ATM Switch/Control Point module using the CLEAR
CONFIGURATION command, before moving the module to another hub.
Before entering Maintenance mode, you are prompted to confirm that this is what you
want to do. This is because activating Maintenance mode interrupts ATM traffic and
statistics, and resets the ATM Control Point. Therefore, you should stop all ATM traffic
in the hub or CELLplex 4000 before you enter the MAINTAIN command.
When Maintenance mode is active the ATM prompt appears as:>>.
Note: After typing MAINTAIN and pressing Enter, it takes up to 45 seconds before
receiving the >> prompt.
You quit Maintenance mode by entering the BOOT command. This resets the ATM
subsystem.
You also quit Maintenance mode after entering the DOWNLOAD OUT_OF_BAND
BOOT command. This operation loads the new boot program and executes it
immediately.
Chapter 3. ATM Commands 3-23
If you make configuration changes in your current ATM Control Point session and want
to save your changes before activating Maintenance mode, enter the SAVE command.
If you enter the MAINTAIN command with the force parameter after making
configuration changes, you log off and lose your changes.
MAINTAIN [FORCE]
forceAllows you to activate Maintenance mode and lose any configuration changes
made during your current session. To save the changes, you must enter the

may be reachable over a LAN Emulation network or a Classical IP over ATM network.
If the target device is reachable via a Classical IP over ATM subnetwork as defined in
RFC1577 (either directly attached or attached behind a router), the ATM Control Point
must be configured with the ATM address of the ARP server (using the SET DEVICE
ARP_SERVER command, page 3-41).
In addition, if the target device is reachable via a router, the ATM Control Point must be
configured with the IP address of the default gateway (using the SET DEVICE
DEFAULT_GATEWAY command)
The command sends packets to the device to be "pinged" and requests the device to
send back the same packets. PING loops continuously until the CTRL-C keys are
pressed.

SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS
You can run this command only if you logged on with the Administrator
password.
Important: Running the SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS command performs a reset of
the ATM Control Point, the same as running the RESET ATM_SUBSYSTEM command
(see page 3-26).
The SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS command defines the ATM address for a ATM
Switch/Control Point module or CELLplex 4000. The ATM address is used to:
To establish connections with the ATM Control Point
Provide the NSAP prefix (first thirteen bytes of ATM address) to all ATM
workstations and servers in the ATM subsystem attached to this ATM Control Point.
The ATM address is included in the first Hello trap sent when the ATM Control Point
starts.
3Com sets each ATM Control Point with a default ATM address. Using this command,
you can change the default value for each ATM Control Point in your network. Each
ATM address you assign must be unique.
The ATM address you assign is automatically saved (as when entering the SAVE
command) and the ATM Switch/Control Point module or CELLplex 4000 is reset (as
when entering the RESET ATM_SUBSYSTEM command). To display the currently
assigned ATM address for a ATM Control Point, enter the SHOW DEVICE command.
SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS atm_address

The prompt is not redisplayed, as there is an immediate reset.
ATM Addressing Scheme
An ATM Control Point-based ATM system uses the Area field, the two lower bytes of
the network prefix in the ATM address, to perform call routing. This field consists of two
parameters:
ATM cluster number (ACN)
Valid values: 1 to 255
Hub Number (HN)
Valid values: 1 to 255
The individual fields contained in the network prefix are described in the appropriate
ONcore/CELLplex 4000 Installation and User's Guide
An ATM cluster is a set of ATM subsystems interconnected by switch-to-switch interface
(SSI) trunks. Each ONcore ATM hub or CELLplex 4000 in an ATM cluster:
Uses the same leftmost 12 bytes in the network prefix, including the ATM cluster
number (ACN).
Is assigned a unique hub number (HN), the rightmost byte in the network prefix.
Each ATM cluster in an ATM subnetwork uses the same leftmost 11 bytes in the
network prefix and is identified by a unique ACN number (the leftmost twelfth byte or
the rightmost second byte in the network prefix; the hub number is the leftmost
thirteenth byte or the rightmost byte in the network prefix).

SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS
You can run this command only if you logged on with the administrator
password.
You cannot change the IP address of the ATM Control Point using SNMP.
Use this command to assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the ATM Control Point
and define the subnetwork mask used for your class of Internet devices. A unique IP
address by supported network (Classical IP or LAN emulation) must be defined for each
ATM Control Point.
If the ATM Control Point is accessed via a router by a Classical IP over ATM
subnetwork, the module must be configured with the ATM address of the ARP server
(using SET DEVICE ARP_SERVER).
The subnetwork mask (defined by mask) is the group of common characters used by all
network nodes on the left side of the IP address (Network ID); for example, 123.32. 44
in the IP address 123.32. 44.165. The unique host address is the group of characters
on the right side (host ID); for example, 165 in the IP address 123.32. 44.165.
If an ATM Control Point is accessed via a bridge or router by a LAN emulation
subnetwork, the switch IP address and subnetwork mask must be configured via the
SET DEVICE LAN_EMULATION CLIENT command.
To permanently save the values you enter, use the SAVE DEVICE command.
Depending on the configuration of your ATM subnetwork, the IP address you set may
not be immediately active.
To display the current IP address or subnetwork mask, use the SHOW DEVICE
command.

SET DEVICE ROLE
This command is only for use with the ONcore ATM Switch/Control Point module.
You can run this command only if you logged on with the Administrator
password.
Use this command to control the selection of the active ATM Switch/Control Point in a
redundant ATM subsystem. When you set the role of one ATM Switch/Control Point,
the second ATM Switch/Control Point will automatically assume the opposite role (for
example, if the active ATM Switch/Control Point is set to secondary, the standby will be
set to primary). When the ATM subsystem elects which ATM Switch/Control Point is to
be active, (at power-on for example), whichever ATM Switch/Control Point has been set
as primary will be chosen.
SET DEVICE ROLE PRIMARY|SECONDARY

SET HUB_NUMBER_OF_SLOTS
This command is only for use with the ONcore ATM Switch/Control Point module.
You can run this command only if you logged on with the Administrator
password.
Use this command to specify the number of payload slots (10 or 17) of your ONcore
hub.
For a 10-slot ONcore it is recommended to use this command to set the number of
payload slots to 10.
If you enter SET HUB_NUMBER_OF_SLOTS 10 for a 17 slot model :
Slots 11 to 17 will no longer be seen by the ATM Switch/Control Point
All commands addressing these slots will be rejected with a wrong slot value

SET LAN_EMUL CONFIGURATION_SERVER
You can run this command only if you logged on with the Administrator
password.
Use this command to add an entry to the 5-entry LAN emulation configuration server
(LECS) address table.
SET LAN_EMUL CONFIGURATION_SERVER ACTIVE_WKA|INACTIVE WKA atm_address
ACTIVE_WKAThe LECS address table is to contain an ATM address to be
substituted to the well known address (WKA). There can be only one
ACTIVE_WKA entry in the LECS address table. The ATM address
you specify will be the one selected to be substituted to the WKA
(WKA active). If an ACTIVE_WKA entry already exists in the LECS
address table, it will no longer be used as the WKA substitution
address. If the ACTIVE_WKA option is used, the latest LECS
address entry configured with ACTIVE_WKA is used to route the
LECS setup to the LECS WKA.
INACTIVE_WKA The LECS adress table is to contain an ATM address which must not
be substituted for the well known address.

SET MODULE
You can run this command only if you logged on with the Administrator
password.
The SET MODULE command enables you to:
Isolate an ATM media module (but not the ATM Switch/Control Point module or
CELLplex 4000) from the ATM backplane network.
Reconnect an isolated ATM media module to the ATM network and enable or
disable its ports.
When an ATM media module is isolated, it remains in reset mode and no network
activity takes place on it. This allows you to protect your ATM network from
unauthorized access and module disfunction.
The current configuration settings of an isolated ATM media module cannot be
accessed by the network. The status of its ports appears as Unknown in the SHOW
MODULE VERBOSE screen display.
The factory default settings for ATM media modules are Isolated and Disabled. This
means that ATM media modules do not start up as part of the ATM subsystem when
you power ON the hub or CELLplex 4000.
When you install an ATM media module in a slot previously used by another ATM
media module, it is initialized with the SET MODULE parameters that were last saved.
To display the currently configured settings, use the SHOW MODULE command.
